The previous reviews are from 2004 and I hope those diners go back because Uptown BBQ has changed dramatically since. The prices are a little high but, overall the BBQ is good. And the service is better than in the past.
I haven't been to Uptown BBQ in a few years but they have completely changed their format with the cafateria style line and the soulfood menu is excellent I purchased dinner for the whole family, Mac & Cheese, candied yams, Collard Greens and Baked Beans, Along with a Slab of Ribs that great BBQ sau...
I go Uptown at least once a week and I cant say Ive ever been disappointed. there is usually a little line but their are a couple young ladies that get you in and out. she answers to T or tori... very friendly and helpful. I love that i dont have to tell her my order,she speaks and follows with "you...
My favorite thing about up is quite silly but I love to see the employees putting us on hold to clean up!! To some that may seem odd but I love that although I am important to the business they try to maintain a certain level of cleanliness. There is a young lady there cierra who has no problem aski...
Uptown has the best ribs in the city hand down!! been a loyal patron for 15 years and counting!!!
good two for one sandwichs
The worst of southwest Detroit's Mexican restaurants. I ordered the Chile Rellenos and got a green pepper! That is NOT "authentic". Try Lupita's. It's just a few steps away, much cheper and much tastier.
As part of a group of 3 couples all over 40 years of age, we were unimpressed with your party policy. The waitress refused to give us 3 bills, and some in our party were paying with credit cards. Your waitress assured us that we owed her $10.00 in tips, which we were planning to pay tips anyway, but...
the service was great...the waitstaff very attentive. the owner was very engaged with our children as we ate, which began to be overstepping boundries as he tickled and invited them behind the bar to wash glasses(unexceptable). as the meal ended and we enjoyed our cocktails the owner removed everyth...
I have had the wings and the batter fried cod, both of which were good. The service however is a different story. Once, one of my sides was missing. Another time, I bought the same dinner two weeks and paid two different prices. When I asked about this, my inquiry was met with a terrible attitude an...
They use processed chicken breast on their chicken ceasar salad - you can get that at McDonald's. I expect more from a Deli. Sandwiches are good.
This restaurant was way overpriced. I got a chicken shish kabob that was good but over 15 dollars for one kabob, some rice pilaf, a bowl of soup, and some bread. I could have gone to a coney island for half the price. My wife got the breaded shrimp that was just ordinary butterflied frozen shrimp...
The food was very mediocre (cold and basically tasteless). I had to send my lunch back for reheating. Biggest turnoff was the place was buzzing with flies. This was on Sept. 1, 2001. Also, when waiter serve the flaming cheese, he accidently squirted me in the face with juice.
I work in Downtown Detroit, and used to have lunch at Maverick's prior to its brief closure. At that time the food was good and the service matched. Since it's reopened the menu choices are all still excellent but the service is terrible. I've eaten there 3 times since the reopening, hoping that it ...
The food is fine, you can tell the cakes are store cakes. The lighting needs to be brighter. They need to speed up the time it takes to wait on
customers. The person who claims to be the owner tends to crowd you with conversations of his worldly exploits and spiced up with profanity, just let us ea...
The service there during the day is less than desireable, the staff would rather play on their computers than serve customers,it is much improved in the evening. hey happy people how about some consistency in your service. Hot dogs are not jumbo as they say but they're good. Sandwich's will get sogg...
The Turkey Chop are awesome and are priced very reasonable.
Yeah, the ambience is definately not the best. Not that the service and food makes up for it completely, but I guess osme of us prefer a better environment. It did seem like a nice, friendly place for the usuals and it was actually pretty full in its small place. Wasn't bad, decent, but not the best...
Who ever rated this place 4 stars must be, well, the owner, there's no way this place should get four stars, the only reason that this place got any stars from me is because this site does'nt give you the option to put 0. Sorry, that's just my opinon
The Uptown Barbecue was disappointing. In previous visits, it was much better. Maybe the resturant is under new management or ownership. But I will not go back.
